Makes me laugh everytime I hear it, because I do understand. I
understand that not since "Where's the beef?" has a catch phrase
concocted by some madison avenue BMW driver been proudly and mindlessly
parroted by so many people.

It truly is a "Jeep thing" that few besides another Jeep enthusiast would
understand... but I would never actually say or display that phrase on my
Jeep as some do. :) But in many ways, Jeeping is no different than any
other hobby that you can spend a lot of money doing.

Actually, you can spend as much or as little money as you want. That's part
of the beauty of it. :o)

Best thing I saw displayed on a Jeep was a bumper sticker with upside
down writing that said "If you can read this, please flip me over."

Actually I saw that on a Jeep too, just beneath the windshield. Must be a
Jeep thing. ;o)

Those are verbs? Triumph, maybe ...

Let's go <insert your favorite ride here>ing. Let's go Truimphing? Let's go
Fording? Dodging? Nope, only "let's go Jeeping." makes any sense as a verb.

You can ford a river, dodge incoming, and triumph over an enemy. Actually,
jeeping doesn't seem like a verb to me. Isn't the verb in "Let's go
jeeping" go?

The question was how many brands are also a verb, with no reference to a
particular context. Consider: fording a river, dodging the bullet.
Rover is a noun. Triumph is a good one, too, but I can't think of any
others right now...
